“…The four paradigm shifts described here do not simply add new responsibilities in a cumulative sense. Instead, they suggest that for the field to evolve and adapt to healthcare changes, a new set of training priorities is needed (Cubic et al, 2012; Reid-Arndt et al, 2010). With their strong background in EBP training and measurement, clinical psychologists can be better positioned to improve population health through EBP scaling and to apply their measurement expertise in the development of quality measures.…”

“…Healthcare reform and concomitant public policy changes provide an opportunity for the field of clinical psychology to evolve (Cubic, Mance, Turgesen, & Lamanna, 2012; Reid-Arndt et al, 2010). To shape future directions in training and education, the ACA-funded MBHETG initiative is a crucial start.…”

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) is revamping the access, quality, and financing of the health and mental health systems. However, its impact on training and education in clinical psychology is unclear. This article aims to identify specific components of the ACA, in particular the Mental and Behavioral Health Education and Training Grants, that are expected to affect training and education in the field. The article further connects the ACA with four paradigm shifts in clinical psychology that have broad implications for training and education—evidence‐based practices, research methodology, interprofessionalism, and the quality indicator movement. The overarching goal of this article is to begin timely discussions on the future directions of the field under the current healthcare reform.

“…Psychologists (e.g., Belar, 1998; Glueckauf et al, 2003; Glueckauf & Lustria, 2008; Maheu et al, 2004; Maheu, Whitten, & Allen, 2001) have discussed the need for psychologist training in the delivery of telehealth at the graduate and postgraduate levels, in self-assessment, and in continuing education regarding the complexities of intake, record-keeping, direct care, referrals, and emergencies in an effective and legally and ethically appropriate manner as technology continues to expand in all directions. Graduate psychology training should take a proactive approach to promoting psychology's inclusion in the general health care system (Reid-Arndt, Stucky, Cheak-Zamora, DeLeon, & Frank, 2010) as well as other areas of business, commerce, and the arts.…”

It is increasingly urgent for psychologists to confront the difficult questions raised by the way that information and communication technologies are altering not only health care, but also the human experience worldwide. Whether psychologists embrace or resist aspects of technology, they should recognize how advanced technologies are changing the way we communicate and process information, anticipate needed growth, and prepare to meet ensuing challenges to professional psychology. Exponential growth of technology is enabling new mental health services, extending existing ones, and augmenting options available to individuals for self-monitoring and decision making, both with and without professional involvement. Professional organizations can help retain psychology's leadership position by promulgating more specific guidelines and policy for science, practice, and education. Protection of clients already requires new legal and regulatory initiatives for licensure, referrals, client education, privacy, screening, assessment, record keeping, reimbursement, and self-help product development. Protections for psychologists require new risk management procedures and adaptations by malpractice carriers as multidisciplinary teams evolve within and beyond health care into new public and private sector arenas. Key technologies that presage future trends include video teleconferencing, “smart” mobile devices, cloud computing, virtual worlds, virtual reality, and electronic games. Predicting change and adapting psychology accordingly will enable psychologists to future-proof their workplaces. Equipping future generations of psychologists and patients to collaborate more successfully in all potential growth areas requires educators and trainers to increase their focus on technology in graduate education, training, and supervision.

“…Psychologists have also engaged in public policy with the intent of advancing and protecting the profession. Recognizing the critical need for federal funding to support the training of future generations of psychologists, advocacy by one coauthor (RGF) for the inclusion of psychology in graduate medical education (GME) funding (Reid-Arndt, Stucky, et al, 2010) represented a significant policy accomplishment. Ongoing organized advocacy, led by Cynthia Belar of the APA Education Directorate, to address psychology training funding needs also led to the establishment of the Health Resources and Services Administration Graduate Psychology Education program in 2002.…”

One of the hallmarks of a mature profession is its willingness to become engaged in addressing society's most pressing needs. To have a significant impact, individuals within the profession must be personally involved in public policy and be collectively committed over a prolonged period of time. Substantive change often takes far longer to accomplish than one might first imagine.In this chapter, we summarize public policy as a core activity of clinical psychology and review emerging opportunities to influence policy related to federal health care legislation (e.g., the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 [ACA]), health benefits, research, graduate training, public health, and Congress itself. We do so from more than 100 years of collective experience as psychologists engaged in shaping public policy, as a former chief of staff for a U.S. Senator (Patrick H. DeLeon), an APA Congressional Fellow (Sandra Wilkniss), a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow (Robert G. Frank), and direct advocates for policy changes at the federal (Frank) and state (Stephanie A. Reid-Arndt) levels.
